[QUOTE="Sage70, post: 2338984, member: 119027"] Those Bausch and Lomb Balvar 8 scopes were top of the line in the late 1950's and 1960's and although I don't own one I look at them with fondness. When I was in my teens and early 20's I spent a lot of time with a Government hunter who had a Model 70 with a Bolvar 8 and I loved to shoot it. In fact, at that time we could hunt turkeys with a rifle and I took 2 big Rio Grande toms with his rifle. It had a 25-06 barrel installed by Flag's in Millvale, Pennsylvania. That was before Remington standardized the 25-06. I had a chance to buy that very rifle about 2 months ago and I made an offer but haven't heard back. [/QUOTE]
